Last year I attended an ACC-hosted data privacy seminar sponsored by Shook Hardy & Bacon. Their talented team was near encyclopedic on discussing GDPR and conveying the real-world implications of GDPR to busi-ness practices. This year, when it was time to stress-test our data privacy readiness for CCPA, calling SHB was a total no-brainer. Our engagement thus far has been fantastic, and thanks to having connected with them through their sponsorship of ACC, I see a long-term partnership with the firm for years to come.

— Jessica Rivera, General Counsel, MotionPoint Corporation

ACC South Florida acts to meet the unique professional needs of our diverse membership, offering outstanding educational programming, networking functions, social events, and community service opportunities. Your commitment to sponsoring our in-house community and the law departments of the clients that support your business helps our organization achieve these goals.

THE CASE FOR ACC SOUTH FLORIDA SPONSORSHIP

Being an active member of the ACC South Florida has provided tremendous opportunities for me, as General Counsel, to come in contact with a broad variety of top-notch, top-tier law firms in South Florida and nationally. I have hired class action litigators, labor & employment counsel and real estate experts through the ACC by getting to know these phenomenal attorneys & sponsors in networking and professional settings at ACC events over the course of the last five years. As my career has developed, so too have these invaluable long-term relationships.

— Aline Drucker, General Counsel, Invicta Watch Group

If you want to meet in house lawyers, there’s no better organization in South Florida than the ACC South Florida. Shook has developed terrific business relation-ships and friendships as a result of our involvement with the organization. We look forward to the ACC South Florida events because the members are fun, outgoing, smart, and we learn as much or more from them than they learn from us.

— Alfred J. Saikali, Chair, Privacy & Data Security Practice, Shook, Hardy & Bacon, LLP

WHY YOUR SPONSORSHIP MATTERSACC South Florida is committed to giving sponsors a meaningful return on their investment. We have proven successful at adding value to our sponsors’ marketing mix by connecting our membership with your products and services in unique and targeted ways. ACC South Florida sponsors receive:

Access to the ACC South Florida membership, 185+ of whom are general counsel or C-Suite executives at the companies for which they work. Sponsorship puts you in front of legal service purchasers, giving you direct access to those empowered to hire your firm.

An ACC South Florida Board of Director Sponsor Success Partner committed to the long-term success of your company’s ACC South Florida sponsorship. Along with our Sponsorship chair, your Sponsor Success Partner will ensure that there is mutual commitment toward having an effective sponsorship year.

Showcasing of your legal products and services. Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze sponsorship packages include interactive attendance at ACC South Florida’s 11th Annual CLE Conference (“CLE Conference”), the largest and most highly-attended in-house event in the region – with more than 300 attendees annually. Sponsorship at this level ensures your company brand is best represented, most broadly reaches our membership, and stays at the forefront of the in-house decision makers’ mind. Workshop and social sponsorships are available separately, or as additions to these sponsorship tiers to further target our in-house membership in more intimate ways.

Branding on ACC South Florida’s online platforms. Your company will be listed as a trusted ACC South Florida sponsor, and will include links to your web page from our site. Furthermore, all Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze sponsors are prominently listed by name in the CLE Conference program and mentioned by name throughout the event.

We have had a wonderfully successful partnership with ACC South Florida over the years. As a sponsor, we demonstrate our commitment to the in-house community by providing exceptional educational and networking opportunities. In return, we interact with lawyers and decision makers across a diverse set of industries, learning about the issues that face our current and prospective clients, and allowing us to better serve their needs. Sponsorship keeps our firm top of mind, and has been a win-win for all.

— Melissa Pallett-Vasquez, Partner & International Group Co-Chair, Bilzin Sumberg

Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze sponsorships deliver the most extensive sponsorship value to our partners. All tiers include exhibit space at the Annual CLE Conference, and Silver, Gold, & Platinum sponsors receive CLE speaking opportunities. If your company seeks to combine its topical legal expertise with fun and less formal social interaction, Gold and Platinum sponsorships provide added opportunities to reach our membership through interactive social events.

Platinum & Gold Sponsors will create and plan a custom social event experience in coordination with your Sponsor Success Partner. Based on 2019 feedback from our membership concerning events they’d like to attend in the future, we recommend that our sponsors consider the following social event experiences to yield the best member engagement:*

2020 SPONSORSHIP LEVELS

Ax ThrowingReception and games at an ax throwing pavilion (e.g. Extreme Axe Throwing in downtown Hollywood, or Chops + Hops in Fort Lauderdale).

BowlingPrivate event at a bowling alley in Miami-Dade, Broward or Palm Beach such as Strike 10 Bowling in Gulfstream Park (Hallandale Beach) or Mizner Park (Boca Raton - opening in 2020), or Basement in Miami Beach

Casino NightPrivate casino-themed event, speakeasy style, with games, craft cocktails, costumes & prizes for high rollers.

Escape RoomReception, cocktails and entertainment at this interactive experience.

Fitness EventsWhether it be a full moon yoga flow, a private spin class, Corporate Run sponsorship, or otherwise, mem-bers are looking to move with our sponsors in 2020.

Museum EventPrivate reception at an art exhibit, installation or museum such as Perez Museum, Frost Museum or any other museum in the tri-county area.

CLE CONFERENCE PLATINUM, GOLD, SILVER AND BRONZE SPONSORSHIPS

* Based on feedback from our membership, we would caution our sponsors against hosting solely culinary or standard cocktail reception events, as we believe these events will not yield the highest attendance possible due to the fact that these events have been a standard part of past events and we would like to focus on brand new events and experiences for 2020.

ACC PROGRESSIVE DINNERS (Miami-Dade And Palm Beach County)Progressive Dinners are the most anticipated social events of our programming year, and this year, we will be catering to our largest and second largest membership bases (Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties)! The Premier sponsor hosts a CLE seminar (topic chosen in coordination with Sponsor Success Partner), followed by the first course of cocktails and appetizers. The Dinner sponsor hosts the next course, followed by the Dessert sponsor. All sponsors are given a theme to follow in order to facilitate networking, and at the end of the evening, an award is given to the sponsor that best represented the chosen theme. Sponsors for the Progressive Dinner must be in close geographic proximity to one another. Preference will be given to Sponsors within the same building or within short walking distance of one another.

COFFEE TALK CLE SERIESThese morning sponsorships offer a unique opportunity to focus on relevant issues and practical skills for in-house counsel. Sponsors will work with Sponsor Success Partners to design an interactive CLE format to resonate with Chief Legal Officers and associate general counsels alike. For best attendance, we encourage the sponsor to select a Coffee Talk venue outside of the busy downtown area (such as at a client’s location).

NEW!CLO ROUNDTABLEThis sponsorship is to host an engaging CLO roundtable event. It may take the format of either a GC-only discussion on legal issues impacting their office, or an interactive panel session where GCs and CLOs from our membership engage with other in-house peers who aspire to reach the desk of General Counsel. The GC/CLO panel will be chosen by ACC South Florida. For best attendance, we encourage the sponsor to select a venue outside of the busy downtown areas (such as at a client’s location).

NEW! SPORTING EVENT & CLE PROGRAM

For the sponsor with sports team connections, this sponsorship includes hosting ACC members at a Florida Panthers, Florida Marlins, Miami Dolphins, or Miami Heat game, or at another sporting event of its choice (e.g. Honda Classic, Miami Open, etc.). Additional event programming is optional but recommended, and may include a CLE programming, or a private tour of the venue. The event can be designed as a member-only or family inclusive affair.

NEW!CLO DINNERThis sponsorship is for an exclusive, “invitation-only” dinner reserved for up to 10 General Counsel & Chief Legal Officers only. As the sole dinner sponsor, the sponsor will handpick its guest list from a full list of companies in South Florida whose General Counsel and Chief Legal Officers are members of our chapter. Dinner is hosted at a venue selected by the sponsor, and may include up to an equal number of attendees from its firm.

MEMBERSHIP APPRECIATION EVENTThis annual event is one of our mostly highly attended events of the year when we are able to honor and thank our far- reaching membership for their support and contributions to our chapter. Taking place in Broward County each July, this event provides an engaging, interactive activity and/or speaker to our entire membership, followed by a cocktail reception at a vibrant venue. Some past member appreciation events included motivational speakers, resume building training, professional headshots, and a Marvel comic book illustrator as guest speaker, and have taken place in Las Olas and the Margaritaville Resort in Hollywood, FL. The sponsor of this event helps with the selection of the venue and programming and is prominently featured throughout the event, as the sole sponsor.

HOLIDAY PARTIES IN MIAMI-DADE AND PALM BEACH COUNTIESThese sponsorship opportunities provide exclusivity in hosting one of ACC South Florida’s annual holiday parties in Miami-Dade or Palm Beach County. The sponsor chooses its venue, to take place during the first or second week of December. Whether it be an ugly-sweater themed social, or a party that partners with a charity (e.g. Toys for Tots), these holiday sponsorship opportunities provide brand exposure to a wide variety of in-house counsel in a festive format.

2020 UNDERWRITING AND ADVERTISING OPPORTUNITIESACC South Florida welcomes underwriters of events that support our Board of Directors, promote diversity or are aimed at assisting the greater South Florida community (e.g. pro bono clinics). The Board of Directors meets quarterly in person and welcomes underwriting support from sponsors, without additional sponsorship fees, to join us for dinner and networking at our in-person Board meetings and/or at the ACC Annual Meeting. We also seek assistance in the funding of the quarterly newsletter, unsponsored events and local law student scholarships. Article opportunities and print or e-mail advertising may also be available at a la carte pricing. Please e-mail [email protected] for more information if you are interested in more information.
